Mummy meatloaf

I saw this idea last year in Family Fun magazine and tried it, and to my surprise my girls actually ate it! Now, I'm talking about girls who previously didn't want anything to do with meat. In fact, they renamed the meatloaf "mommy cake". They really don't know what a mummy is, I guess they think I'm saying mommy? Anyways, this makes for a nice warm and festive meal to give your kids before they head out in the cold to go trick-or-treating.

You can use your favorite meatloaf recipe {or try this one that I love} and shape it with your hands to look somewhat like a mummy. I could have done a better job, but you get the idea.

After the meatloaf is completely cooked, add strips of sliced white cheese in a "wrapped" pattern and add some sliced olives for the eyes. Depending on the type of cheese you use, it will either melt right on the hot meatloaf or you may stick it back in the oven for a minute or two to let it melt a little.

What other festive foods do you like to make for Halloween? We also like to do a dinner baked inside a pumpkin I plan to share next week!

This is great! My son would absolutely adore this, and my husband would probably love the addition of cheese to my meatloaf. I have to try this. Thank you so much for sharing. Yours looks really yummy!
